I really have no idea. I guess the courts have plenty to do already and no one has really made a fuss about it yet (like the BBC are now doing with the magic elastic bands). If Advertising Standards or whatever they are called now don't know that the additives are rubbish, there's no reason to take them to court. Various companies have been fined heavily in the US though.
